Have any of you guys read this little book?

http://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Youths-D.../dp/B001UFP63A

I bought it at the records tent at Coachella and read it on the plane ride home, it's basically just a song-by-song analysis of DDN with some other sections with interviews and stuff. it's got a cool intro by Lee and some really great passages. My only beef is that it focused way too much on the lyrics. The dude had some pretty good insights about the music and structure here and there, but too often he's just discussing about the significance of lines like "gun yr sled close your peeping toms" and "last night's dream was a talking baby wizard."

but yeah. check it out if you haven't already.
